What is this blog about?

This is just a small preview into my love for photography where I will try to get into detail as to how I captured the moment, why I captured it, how I edited them and many more things.

So, this is basically a heart-to-heart about whatever I feel like writing, and also about what you want to hear. Sometimes when I post a picture on Instagram I wish that you would know the story behind the picture, and I try to describe it somehow, but it's not always possible on a social media platform like Instagram.

About me

A normal CA student with a passion for photography. I started getting into photography in 2014 when my parents bought me a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot camera. I started taking pictures of things like butterflies, spiders and all normal, everyday objects that you see around.

So, inevitably, I started posting my pictures on Facebook and Instagram. I got a good initial reaction from friends which pushed me to learn more about photography in general. I have definitely come a long way, but I have an even longer path ahead of me.

Why We Do What We Do?

Before you start wondering if this is a photography blog or some philosophical one, let me just save you the time and tell you that this, indeed, is a photography blog. It's been a minute since I last wrote a blog. Too consumed, too lazy, too out of things to write, or at least, that's what I thought. But, I have tons to write about. Turns out I was just lazy. What makes us do or not do anything? What makes us wake up in the morning? Why did I start writing this blog that I had saved in drafts for over a year? The thought of doing something usually fills our head with a good feeling or a bad feeling. But the world as we know is not made of "Good or bad". It's normally the in-between. The world is filled with averages. "Average people are the most special people in the world. And that's why God made so many of them" -Michael Scott's Mom -Michael Scott [The Office] . I may leave you with more questions than answers by the end of this blog. I'

A Once-In-A-Year Relationship with Kumara Parvatha

There is a proverb in Kannada, "Doorada betta kannige nunnage", which literally translates to "The mountain far away always looks good" or something like that. The closest English equivalent proverb could be, "The grass is always greener on the other side". But for the sake of fun, we shall be using the Kannada version. Because people who try out this trek for the first time without experience and without fitness, they all feel that they should have just enjoyed the view of the mountain from below, in front of the Kukke Subramanya temple. But there is so much this trek offers that are way too difficult to put into words. I can only describe it as "Magical" I have been to KP (Kumara Parvatha) twice. But in this blog, I will be writing only about the first time. Everyone knows that the first time's always the best. There are two starting points to the trek. One from the Kukke side (the popular one), and another from the Somawarapete side starti

Light Painting Technique

(Vidhana Soudha. Mi A3) This post is more of a guide type of post. So, I'll try not to make it boring. I'm going to talk about a mode called Light Painting, which you might or might not have heard of, but you would have come across the pictures at least once. I'm doing this post because some people told me that it's not possible to take pictures like that after I posted a couple of these on Instagram. It's totally possible, and anyone can do it. It's simple by the core. The name says it all. You paint with the lights. So, how do you paint with light? A: You keep the shutter open for a longer time. What's shutter, and how do you keep it open? A: Shutter is the door to the image sensor where the image gets recorded. The sensor is our eye, and the shutter is the eyelid. The longer the shutter stays open the more light gets captured. These are just basics, there is also aperture that needs to be taken into consideration. What is aperture, you ask? A: It, to
